This personnel adjustment indicates that Otherside has transitioned from the "repair platform" phase to the "growth" phase.
Figge himself defined the past year as a turnaround job, meaning the initial focus was on bringing the product back to a sustainable state rather than pursuing conceptual narratives.
In terms of capital pathways, the key for Otherside is not just the metaverse content, but how to retain existing holders and attract external users.
The value of such projects typically does not depend on a one-time launch, but on whether they can subsequently reconnect community assets, gaming experiences, and token expectations.
Similar cases can be compared to large NFT projects transitioning from purely financial narratives to productization and operationalization stages.
When a project reaches the moment where "who operates" is more important than "who finances," it indicates that it has moved from early imagination to mid-to-late governance.
Essentially, this is a restructuring of the industry chain, as control shifts from the founder's daily management to a dedicated leader overseeing product, community, and growth lines.
Such a transition usually signifies that the project is beginning to accept reality: the truly difficult part is not the launch, but the ongoing operation.

The larger the project grows, the more valuable the operation.
Narratives can ignite, but management sustains.
The real turning point is not the launch, but the takeover.
